Induction of pediatric anesthesia represents a highly stressful event for children, often resulting in preoperative anxiety that can impair the child's perioperative experience and result in adverse postoperative outcomes.

In patients with extreme anxiety, unfavorable postoperative behaviors after anesthesia induction are likely to result in long-term issues, which adversely affect the process of recovery, and also develop a feeling of inadequate care. Parental presence at anesthesia induction is the interaction that takes place in the induction room during the course of anesthesia induction between the child, parent, anesthesiologist, and perioperative nurses.

Plan to share: No — 1. \*Patient confidentiality\*: Sharing IPD could compromise patient confidentiality and anonymity, potentially harming participants or their families. 2. \*Sponsor's intellectual property\*: Clinical trial sponsors may consider IPD as their intellectual property, and sharing it could compromise their commercial interests. 3. \*Competitive advantage\*: Sharing IPD could provide competitors with valuable insights, potentially eroding the sponsor's competitive advantage. Data quality and validation\*: IPD may require additional validation and quality control checks before sharing, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. 4. \*Methodological limitations\*: Sharing IPD without proper context and methodology information may lead to misinterpretation or misuse of the data. 5. Informed consent\*: Participants may not have provided informed consent for their data to be shared, which could raise ethical concerns.
